There’s a lot to love about Dr. Liu before you even get into her work with MSF. The Montreal-born child of Chinese immigrants, Dr. Liu knew from an early age that she wanted to be “a doctor without borders,” having read about the organization’s work in Soviet-era Afghanistan as a kid. Reading about the cold war as a pre-teen? Totally badass.

A graduate of Hogwarts stand-in McGill University, Dr. Liu has made clear she’s going to advocate for the people MSF cares for in whatever hall of power she might need to.
